Ok fancy this scenario you have 2 red aces AA out of position and the flop comes A-56 2 spades with 4 players. There are flush draws out there there and a straight out yet you have the best hand right now 85% of the time here what do you do? Of course if the pot's big enough you take it down,but what if you felt weakness in the table and decides to slow play them should you continue to do so? This is an implied odd's greedy scenario assume the turn comes a 9 of hearts and you get a bet shouldn't you just call if everyone else does hoping the river pairs and flushes to aces full max boat to potentially get everyone chips right?

I think if you have an AA pair, you should be always agresive, more if they have a flush chance. Because if you play slowly, they will pay easy.

if you play the aces aggressive preflop, the straight draw should be gone for sure. flush draw might pay, but make the pay for sure.

If they have good draws they will call a raise. Try to build the pot as quickly as possible.

I also think a bird in the hand than a crane in the sky. At the flop, if not nothing to do you can lose on river

You shouldn't let the guys with low cards even play in the pot because you should put alot of money preflop so some people would fold with low hands like 8-9 7-6 , although some people still call with these hand i would go all in if i flop an ace and there is a straight opportunity to come!

I do agree that you should be aggressive, however there might be 2 CALLSTAT at your table who are capable of calling PotBet twice to see if they hit.

Against one, thats fine...getting max value, however if yu have two of those at you table ... just AI on Turn and let them make their decision if they are willing to go for it or FOLD

To have a pair AA means to have a good hand to begin always a little bit more playful since this way I will eliminate players and I will stay with those who believe that their hand is stronger than mine, so that the strong bet is that they are equal, I like to play passively because I can take a surprise preflop

You should play aggressively, and choose your bet sizing according to the player type you are up against.
Against a fish you should make big bets, 100% pot or even more than that, because your bet sizing will often look like a bluff to them. Against better players you should bet around 60-75% each street, and hope you get paid off :)

Sometimes you could slowplay a set of aces, but against multiple opponents on the flop you want to play aggressively, to get money from draws, and not give them any free cards to draw out on you.

I would bet around 70% of the pot. Hopefully no spade will show and someone will make a statistically bad call to try and draw the flush or a straight. Someone could even have the other ace so they would be likely to call too. Hopefully the turn wont be what you feared and then be just as aggressive betting going forward.

With 4 players in the hand on a draw heavy board I'm betting AA hard,I'm making my opponents pay big for their draws if that's the course they choose.
I find it hard to answer this hypothetical situation because I would never limp with AA, I don't see too many flops, and see even less turn cards.

Just bet those aces, don't try to get creative.

Yes

This is my point say it's standard 1/2 or 1/3 nl game and you raise 15 and get 4 callers the pots close to 100. If you bet 200 you win 100,or if you play it slow and call peoples bets you risk losing a medium size pot,or winning everyone's chips when you fill up and bet the river to make it look like a bad bluff. The smart play it to play it strong on dangerous boards and make one guy lose his stack when you have a bundle and so does he. Heads up is better for sure in that scenario but when you have 400 and everyone else has around the same and are stations then a slow play can be a homerun,or a whiff.

take it now

If you have 4 players in the pot fair chance one or two might of picked up a draw here . If you slow play or low bet you give them a chance to hit . even if they don't hit if that straight card or flush card comes up and they push then what do you do. If there's only one other try to get more chips out of him with 4 players to many chances to be outdrawn or bluffed on the next two cards so I say take it down now with any set and flush and straight draws out there.

play it fast

Fast play it. Bet 1/2-2/3 pot and then raise 3x every chance you get.

There's no specific answer to your question, it depends who you are playing against. If its a calling station or andish you should bet big, against someone you know is likely to have weak ands but tends to bluff a lot you should let them bluff and play passive

You don't slowplay.
If you slowplay and your opponents don't hit the draw by the river, they will fold to any bet, If you bet and they follow and they don't hit by river or you improve to full house while they hit their draw, you're golden.
Do not be afraid of calling stations, those are the players you can make the most from.

I would make a preflop raise of 5x the big blind with my aces. That would weed out the possible straight draw maybe not the flush draw but come the flop I'm definitely looking to raise about 75 percent of the pot. Hoping they don't hit the flush. Say it is a heart, I think I would push on the turn all in.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure a set of Aces in the scenario you describe is the best hand 100% of the time, at the flop. Unless I'm misreading something.

Got to play the AA aggressive, but not too aggressive as you want a call. Pot raise gets you a call pretty often. Then if you are like me you dominate the hand and lose on the river. Sorry, feeling a bit bad beaten today ;)
